    Default Removing liquid nails, any suggestions

    I have the oppotunity to acquire some recycled Tassie oak wall panneling. The only problem is that it has globs of liquid lails where it was attached to the wall. Anyone have any sensible suggestions on how to remove this glue. :confused:

    I collected this site from a US BB. I have no idea if it works or whether it, or it's equivalent, is available in Oz.

    Try your local paint store or builders hardware store.

    It only takes one drink to get me loaded. Trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or fourteenth.

    David,
    a sharp chisel will remove the bulk of it. If it's on the back of the panelling that's all you may need to do, unless both sides will be seen, in which case a bit of sanding will remove the rest.

    I used a power plane to do exactly that job today, from the back of some used pine floorboards. Works fine.

    Damn it, and I was about to suggest to run it over with your lawnmower...

    As one that has removed way more Con Ad than I would ever care to admit, I agree that this is the best method. Get your widest chisel out, get a low angle on the board, and hammer that chisel until it comes off. This will likely result in gouging some of the timber if you don't have a low enough angle.

    i used a heatgun when i had to get a tile off of a brick wall, but you may issues with this method seeing the panelling is timber.

    This should be around Oz somewhere (if totally lost, ask a doctor - they have all sorts of tricks for removing glues from bodies).
    I thought they'd just use a chisel (or scalpel) :eek:

    A scraper with a sharp hook could be the go after removing the bulk with a blade.
